Yemen: Peace talks resume at last as humanitarian disaster beckons

Peace talks resume: Talks between Yemen’s warring opponents began in Stockholm, Sweden on 6 December, the first such discussions for more than two years. The Houthi delegation was led by Mohammed Abdul Salam, while foreign minister Khalid Al-Yamani led the team from President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi’s government. The talks were preceded by the evacuation of 50 injured Houthi fighters from Yemen to Oman on 3 December, as a confidence-building measure.
